If you attending closely, you can see what OPPO is calling the starry night effect, breadth there is a slight red acclivity at the top and basal of the glass. It’s a attenuate touch, but it makes the buzz feel added like a distinct allotment of hardware. This aftereffect is alone on the red model, which is the one we were able to absorb some time with.

OPPO wouldn’t animadversion on any abeyant Android 8.0 amend and said it would instead focus on what its amount admirers in China wants, like the AI Beautification Mode. That’s additionally OPPO’s acumen abaft the best of microUSB instead of USB-C.
